Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I teach in a low-income area where students have very limited access to musical instruments and music instruction. Nine years ago I started an after-school music program with ten of my students. Over the years this small class became very popular among students and has evolved into a school-wide music program. I constantly receive multiple requests from students of different grade levels wanting to be part of this special program.
Due to the limited amount of instruments, I am unable to provide more students with the opportunity to learn how to play a musical instrument and use their creative energy to write original songs.
My main objectives for this program are to provide students with musical skills that are transferable to any musical instrument and to expose students to different genres of music.
My Project
In order to improve and provide music lessons to more students in my school I need additional audio equipment. A new digital mixer will give access to more students who have shown interest in learning how to play an instrument. Students in the music program will not only learn musical skills, but they will also be learning about cooperation, group work, and appreciation of a cultural tradition through music and songs. Students will be performing at special events such as: assemblies, holiday programs, and talent show. Performances will not only build self-esteem and confidence, but it will also inspire other students and the rest of the community to explore their culture through music.
You will make it possible for my students to showcase their hard work during musical performances.
It will also provide them with the opportunity to grow together and collaborate as members of our modern band. Your donation will make a huge difference in the lives of many of my students. I am confident that the skills that they gain from playing an instrument will help them throughout their lives.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
